Apple Watch offers music on the go with 8GB of storage

The Apple Watch packs 8GB of on-board storage, with wearers able to add up to 2GB of music directly to the much anticipated smartwatch.

One of the biggest additions in the first Android Wear update was the option of storing and playing music without needing to be tethered to a smartphone and it's great the Apple's wearable will have this function right from the off.

That leaves just under 6GB of storage for the Watch OS, native apps and the plethora of third-party apps that are expected to land - apparently there is going to be over 1,000 to choose from come launch day.
